Ep-57 Coraline (2009 film)

Henry Selick’s adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s CORALINE is a marvel
of craftsmanship and artistic vision, featuring memorable vocal
performances by Dakota Fanning, Teri Hatcher, and Ian
McShane. Laika Studios has gone on to further a legacy of
incredible stop-motion production in an age where CGI is king.
The adaptation does introduce a few significant changes to the
story, in particular, the inclusion of Wybie changes some of the
dynamic of the novella. The Other Mother beckons you through the
door, will you follow? 


Topics include: The Uncanny Valley with stop animation, Henry
Selick’s unique career, James’ dream job, why Wybie might have
been invented, the differences in movie parents vs book parents,
the Other Mother’s spider-ness, Mr. Bobinski’s possible secret
origins, the philosophies behind the film, and which characters
were better or worse in each version.
